A new way of seeing

I found out about this photographer from an email by Outdoor Photographer Magazine. I no longer subscribe to the magazine but still receive emails from them, including updates about latest issues. This photographer, Stephen Lang, had a feature article in the magazine. What caught my attention was his unique vision on Bird photography;

I've been attempting impressionistic photography for 18 months now and still only have about 2 images that I'm happy with. I've seen many images from photographers who have excelled at this technique, but personally, I just can't get the hang of it, although I usually make a few attempts each time I go out. And will continue until I do the hang of it, why? because it's fun, challenging, and continues to reinforce the idea of looking at a subject differently, and from various angles.

About Me

Welcome to the Scenic Photographer.
I find photography to be a fluid craft that changes and evolves with time and experience. I believe a photographer never reaches a pinnacle, a point at which they have mastered the craft and discovers there is nothing else to learn.
Photography, for me, has a way of stopping time. While practicing my craft I lose all sense of time and space, although acutely aware of the chosen time to begin, once I have camera in hand and concentrate on shadows, shapes, tones, and light, the constraints of time seem to stay suspended in motion...and that moment, both visually and emotionally, is what I strive to capture with my images.
